hospital death and home death

Edward Meyrick Goulburn (1818-1897), Dean of Norwich from 1866 to his death, and Headmaster of Rugby, 1849-1857 [Adam Sedgwick (Biblio.com

ALS 'E. Meyrick Goulburn' from Rev. Edward Meyrick Goulburn Dean of Norwich to Rev. Dr Adam Sedgwick FRS Woodwardian Professor of Geology at Cambridge regarding improvements to the canonry and St Catharine's College Cambridge.

11871On letterhead of The Deanery Norwich. 9 January 1873. 4pp. 12mo. 51 lines of text. Bifolium. On aged paper. The context is explained by the fact that until 1927 one canonry in the cathedral establishment of Norwich was attached to the Mastership of St. Catharine's College. The letter begins: 'I have requested the Master of Catherine sic Charles Kirkby Robinson to read you two letters from Canon Nisbet which will show you how very litle prospect there is of our getting permission from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to spend any part of the money gained by our sale of the Barracks in the improvement of our Canonry Houses. This creates an embarrassment; for the question arises how we shall raise the money required for the purchase of the remainder of Mrs. Morse's lease unless we come upon the Barrack money.' Goulburn now describes how he and 'Heaviside' have pressed the Master to determine 'whether he will take Mrs. Morse's house; for if he declines to do so that will make the question still more embarrassing since in that case the £500 set apart for the removal of his present House and the making good the cloister will of course not be available. And I have further expressed the hope that he will be able to see his way to a move on the public grounds of freeing our beautiful Cloister from its present disfigurement. As soon as he has made up his mind I shall crave your kind permission to call a Chapter at your rooms.' He thanks him for his 'most interesting and if I may so say edifying Preface to the Catalogue - made doubly or trebly valuable by your kind inscription therein. I cannot say how highly I value the possession of such a document.' He will send 'the Bishop of Derry's Sermon': 'He could not have said any thing wh. wd. tell more in a place like this where you are so much revered and loved.' He complains of his duties 'as Editor to correct the press of these Sermons; and if another man's proofs always give one a little trouble much more do an Irishman's. And my good friend tho' very brilliant as an orator is very Hibernian.' On letterhead of The Deanery, Norwich. 9 January 1873. unknown

Ronde joyeuse des fagotiers

17864439France 1786. Hand-colored etched folding paper fan printed on the recto of two joined sheets backed in plain paper mounted on 15 later plain wooden sticks the open leaf measuring approx. 112 x 460 mm. total fan height 260 mm. The etching shows two couples and a small dog and table with wine carafe and glass flanking a female figure in white Grecian robes and a green wreath holding in one hand a heart at her breast and with the other hand ceremoniously setting alight a bundle of wood a fagot on a small pedestal or altar above which is the wreathed inscription Institution des fagotiers a auteuil le 2 avril 1786 / On prete serment sur un fagot de pratiquer toute sa vie cinq vertus : cordial franchise amitiÃ© gÃ©nÃ©rositÃ© obeisance sic et tendresse; at top a star with the initials T L A and a banner lettered Vertus des fagotiers surmounted by the caption Ronde joyeuse des fagotiers/ Air: câ€™est la petite TheresseÂ sic; on either side of this scene are four verses within two green-outlined oval cartouches within stenciled blue and yellow decorative border. Some wear and slight splitting along a few folds a couple of small tears at mounts. A mildly licentious pre-Revolutionary printed fan possibly commemorating a real event a â€œfestival of the wood-gatherersâ€ fagotiers held in Auteuil on April 2 1786 but of which there appears to be no historical record. Rather than a guild the fagotiers may have been a local association or club. The symbolism of the image and verses seems to be along the lines of Carpe diem carnally for death is around the corner â€” heavy sentiments for a feather-light fan. One of the men is gesturing toward his partnerâ€™s crotch and the verses on either side of the central scene are dotted with sexual innuendo. The first stanza â€œLet us sing of the burning fagot a bundle of small wood lit by friendship / he who backs away from it knows her i.e. friendship only half-way / without her life is nothing / with her one is deifiedâ€ could be understood as innocuous but the second stanza celebrates the joys of DÃ©duit an archaic term for the pleasures of love or coÃ¯tus. Stanza three brings in Death in the form of Charon: â€œamiable fellow let us sing his good humor his boat may lead to the devil but his spirit leads to happiness / with his worthy ardor the fire burns in our hearts.â€ The last stanza declares that the â€œaugust fagotine lawâ€ allows us to include women we need not hide everyone kiss your partner etc. I locate one other example of this fan held by the MusÃ©e Carnavelet in Paris. It is digitized on their website with the description â€œThe Genie of Friendship lights the pyre on which the couples will take the oath of friendship.â€ The stenciled border of our copy differs from that of the Carnavelet example which is in pink; here it is in two colors and includes two birds perched on branches. unknown
